Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

BK, do you have a timeline for when you expect to reach certain points, or is it that it'll take however long it takes?

It always takes what it takes, but I do try and do at least ten pages a day these days. This one's averaging more. I also usually have a general idea of how many manuscript pages something will run, but I have no idea with this one yet.

Is "smoky eye" related to "side eye"? Can a side eye be smoky, or a smoky eye side?

Several years ago, when Thatch finally decided that he no longer feared and hated me, he began showing his affection by sleeping with me every night. I would ask, "Thatch, ready for bed?" and he'd jump on on the bed, trot to the upper left corner of the mattress and settle in.

Over the pandemic, he stopped doing that. Occasionally on a really cold night I'd find him sleeping next to me, but for the most part, he seemed to like sleeping in my computer chair or the cat tree. Lately, he's returned to sleeping in his old spot.

I did not sleep well last night, but the cats did. I had a hard time settling and getting comfortable, and I was up too many times.

I must see Joshie today and turn in this work I've finished. I'm planning on making the trip to City Center, and I hope it goes better than yesterday's failed trip.

BK, regarding Sami, during editing when you want to change one shot of a line out for another take, do you have a journal of all the takes to refer to, or is everything just stored in your head?

I don't recall any specific dreams, but I woke up thinking about stupid TV commercials.

One of the worst is for a drug used to combat the symptoms of TED...or, Thyroid Eye Disease.

What bugs me is how the women pronounce thyroid, which is correctly pronounced THIGH-ROYD.

In the commercials they say THIGH-rid.  I suppose the ROYD seems somehow related to the HEMO variety.

The first commercial featured a blond woman named Jeannie, who is seen throughout the commercial wearing sunglasses...in each shot, she removes a pair only to reveal another pair.

Ultimately, we see her without.  But the commercial offers us the opportunity to visit the drug's website for "before and after" pictures of Jeannie.

I recognize TED as a major problem that deserves a successful treatment.

But the TV commercials just make me want to FWOW UP.
